GAME THREAD: 8/4/20 Minnesota Twins vs. Pittsburgh Pirates 1:10 CDT

[Vanimal46]

So frustrating to see Sano foul off fastballs he would normally crush into the 3rd deck.

[USAFChief]

Disagree, this tangent is impressively erudite.

 

In the Milwaukee games threads they pat each other on the back for Curious George quotes.

makes you wonder.

The fine for flying a drone in a no fly zone is 32,000. Hope it was worth it

I'm sure the Astros can easily afford that fine for testing out their newest sign stealing scheme.

[Don Walcott]

Berrios gets ESPN's Corona Premier Moment. Doesn't sound good from where I sit.

So i would need to brush up the man with the yellow hat were i to participate?

 

I wonder what Curious George would do amongst cheese heads?

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Props to Berrios! Well done getting through 6!

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Also props to Thielbar! Grinded his way back to The Show!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Good to see Thielbar on the mound!

[LaBombo]

 

Dear Dairy,

Should i put cheese or butter on toast?

 

yes?

Theilbar - former South Dakota State Jackrabbit

[LaBombo]

 

This is the Nik Turley I recall. The one that can’t find the strike zone.

 

But a huge hit at parties.

 

 

Edit:  I was thinking of the husky guy from Lost, so not really sure about the party situation.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Setting them up for a triple play...

 

Not often ya get a chance.

[USAFChief]

LOL. Robbie Inkmakowski is on the Pittsburgh broadcast. They went to him for a question and caught him virtually asleep.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

yes?

I ended up going with cheese.

[Don Walcott]

Good choice. The cheese stands alone.

[Mill1634]

Nice to see from Thielbar. A true feel good story. 

[USAFChief]

Broadcaster: "Robbie, why is St Paul the capital instead of Minneapolis?"

 

Robbie: //blink blink...blink// "Well, that's Minnie on one side of the sign, and Paul on the other."

 

//several moments of silence//

 "He's not the best colorman in baseball for nothing, folks!"

 

[Mill1634]

Safe

[LVTwinsfan]

Arraez , base hit

[LVTwinsfan]

Glad we have replay

Arraez , base hit

For sure it would have been an error

 

[Don Walcott]

Really can't see the point of that challenge.

[LVTwinsfan]

Really can't see the point of that challenge.

I really can’t see how the call was upheld

[amjgt]

 

Really can't see the point of that challenge.

 

Because there was absolutely no doubt that he was safe. None. I was one of the most obvious calls we will see this year... and they lose the challenge at the 7th inning anyway.

Glad we have replay

While he never got back to the base, it looked like he might have caught it before he pulled off it.  TV sure didn't have a great angle.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Man, our pitcher is really Thielen it right now... Wait.
